If you win the car for less then the buy it now price, its a good project car at a fair price that needs paint.

Apparently that "custom" paint is supposed to be a selling point.

Why have a '76 Vega wheel in a '75?

Since most of us would repaint anyway, this one may not be a bad project.

I dont like the color combination that was used. Also it has rust around the windshield. That is the real problem.

I think this is a case where custom paint = hiding crash damage

One of my favorite pet peeves about eBay sellers. They take a picture that looks like a Polaroid at dusk from 50 feet and expect you to see wha tyou need.

Do you think he could have smeared a bit more grease on the lense to get it more out of focus?

I hope he is reading so he will post some decent pictures. Those he did for the most part just wasted his money.
